Nutrition rehabilitation of undernourished children utilizing Spiruline and Misola
Open accessAbstract
Background: Malnutrition constitutes a public health problem throughout the world and particularly in developing countries. Aims: The objective of the study is to assess the impact of an elementary integrator composed of Spiruline (Spirulina platensis) and Misola (millet, soja, peanut) produced at the Centre Medical St Camille (CMSC) of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the nutritional status of undernourished children. Materials and methods: 550 undernourished children of less than 5 years old were enrolled in this study, 455 showed severe marasma, 57 marasma of medium severity and 38 kwashiorkor plus marasma. We divided the children randomly into four groups: 170 were given Misola (731 ± 7 kcal/day), 170 were given Spiruline plus traditional meals (748 ± 6 kcal/day), 170 were given Spiruline plus Misola (767 ± 5 kcal/day). Forty children received only traditional meals (722 ± 8 kcal/day) and functioned as the control group. The duration of this study was eight weeks. Results and Discussion: Anthropometrics and haematological parameters allowed us to appreciate both the nutritional and biological evolution of these children. The rehabilitation with Spiruline plus Misola (this association gave an energy intake of 767 ± 5 kcal/day with a protein assumption of 33.3 ± 1.2 g a day), both greater than Misola or Spiruline alone, seems to correct weight loss more quickly. Conclusion: Our results indicate that Misola, Spiruline plus traditional meals or Spiruline plus Misola are all a good food supplement for undernourished children, but the rehabilitation by Spiruline plus Misola seems synergically favour the nutrition rehabilitation better than the simple addition of protein and energy intake.

S. platensis stimulates the growth of probiotics and maintains nutrient digestion due to its cell structure.
“It was also reported that S. platensis stimulates the growth of probiotics and maintains the nutrient digestion due to its cell structure.”
From The prevention role of Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) on intestinal health (2022) · cites this paper as [4]
The Discussion describes nutritional rehabilitation with Spiruline and Misola, while the Results report Spiruline’s chemical composition; neither addresses probiotic growth or digestion resulting from cell structure. Searches for probiotics, nutrient digestion, cell structure, digestibility, cell wall, and intestinal bacteria found no passage supporting the attributed mechanism. The passages have no page numbers in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredS. platensis has cellulose on its cell wall which can be absorbed by intestinal mucosa easily, and thereby improve mucosal digestion and function.
“It has cellulose on its cell wall which can be absorbed by intestinal mucosa easily, and thereby improve the mucosal digestion and function [4,5].”
From The prevention role of Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) on intestinal health (2022) · cites this paper as [4]
The Results (Chemical analysis; page unavailable) list vegetal fiber in the Spiruline sample, but do not identify it as cellulose in the cell wall. Neither those results nor the Discussion address absorption by intestinal mucosa or improved mucosal digestion and function; searches for cellulose, intestinal absorption, and mucosal function found no supporting passage. (LLM, conf=0.75)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSpirulina has high nutritional value due to its content in proteins, essential amino acids, minerals, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and liposoluble antioxidants.
“Spirulina has high nutritional values due to its content in proteins, essential amino acids, minerals, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and liposoluble antioxidants (vitamin E and carotenoids) [28–38]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
